Care
All Huntleigh products have been designed to withstand normal clinical use,
however they can contain delicate components, for example the probe tip,
which should be handled and treated with care.
Periodically, and whenever the integrity of the system is in doubt, carry out a
check of all functions as described in the relevant section of the IFU. If there are
any defects to the housing contact Huntleigh or your distributor for repair or to
order a replacement.
Please ensure that you check with your facility’s local infection
control policy and medical equipment cleaning procedures.
Observe warnings and guidance on cleaning fl uid labelling
regarding use and personal protective equipment (PPE).
Do not use abrasive cloths or cleaners.
Do not use automatic washers or autoclaves.
Phenolic detergent based disinfectants, solutions containing
cationic surfactants, ammonia based compounds or perfumes
and antiseptic solutions such as Steriscol or Hibiscrub should
never be used.
If detergent or disinfectant wipes are used ensure that excess
solution is squeezed from the wipe prior to use.
Do not allow any fl uid to enter the products and do not immerse
in any solution.
Always wipe off disinfectant using a cloth dampened with clean
water.
